The 2010 GOP Picnic Breaks Attendance Record!

With over 500 in attendance, our annual picnic broke all known attendance records. We had 34 candidates in attendance. Chairman Jimmy Evans emceed the event and Slick Pig provided the delicious BBQ, potato salad, coleslaw and chips. The first annual “Dessert Auction” was fun as elected officials made desserts to be sold to raise funds.

Support Our Troops

Rutherford County has contributed its men and women to serve our country all over the globe. We honor their service and support their efforts. We encourage every citizen to thank a soldier or veteran today. Without their selfless sacrifice we would not have the freedoms that we hold dear. May God bless each and every former and active duty American soldier and their families that support them while they serve our country.

Staying Connected

Republicans have always been very social, but like the rest of America we’ve recently discovered the power of digital social media. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube are services we will use to inform you of our events, alerts and principles. We all like getting together but sometimes life is just too busy to have a barbeque every day, so we’ll tweet, post and update our status regularly.

Tea Party Movement

Controversy. Enlightenment. Courage. Those are some of the words used to describe what is known as the Tea Party movement. Some have accused Republicans of co-oping this movement. Tea Partiers are too independent to be co-oped. We understand that—but welcome any and all that want smaller government, traditional values and the Constitution to be the law of the land. We welcome all and need your input and help.

Big Tent

The term “big tent” is often mentioned when discussing political parties. The Rutherford County GOP believes in welcoming folks from all walks of life that embrace our basic principles and beliefs. We’re proud of our diversity and encourage you to research our party. If you love America and want to make the world a better place to live we believe you’ll find our party a philosophical place to call home.

Rutherford Republican Caucus

On Thursday, March 4th, Rutherford County Republicans gathered to hold the County’s first Delegated County Caucus. They filled the interior of the historic courthouse with over 330 people for the largest political event in recent memory. The overflow crowd filled both floors of the Commission Room, the side meeting room and the hall.

Our Growing and Historic County

Rutherford County is one of America’s fastest growing and most historic counties. Home of Nissan Manufacturing, Middle Tennessee State University, the Stones River Battlefield, and where Davy Crockett and Sam Houston began their political careers as young legislators when Murfreesboro was the capital of Tennessee.

New Website Launch

Launching a new website is a challenging, but fun process. Over the past several months we’ve worked diligently on providing the vital info we believe citizens need to get informed and inspired about the political issues in our county. From where to vote to what Republicans believe about the serious issues of the day—we’ve tried to leave nothing out!
